If you have conflicting gas type, do not install fireplace. See dealer where you purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace for your gas type or conversion kit. A qualified installer or service person must connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes. CAUTION WARNING Installing gas piping to fireplace / burner system location For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply. INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED Before installing fireplace and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below. • External regulator • Piping (check local codes) •Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas) (supplied by installer) • Equipment shutoff valve* •Test gauge connection* • Sediment trap (recommended) • Tee joint •Pipe wrench • approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes — not provided) * A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. External Regulator 100 gallon (min) Propane/LP Supply Tank Vent Pointing Down CAUTION For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 12. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet. Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per National Fuel Code, Section 2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen sulfide limits, and where permitted by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure (listed on data plate) at the maximum flow rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small. When using copper of flex connectors use only fittings approved for gas connections. The gas control inlet is 3/8" NPT. FP1977 Figure 12 External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only) FP1977 external regulator 14 20301726 CFX Vent Free Fireplace System Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance. CAUTION WARNING CONNECT THE GAS A manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8” NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance. Figure 13 A listed manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance. Figure 13 IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the fireplace. CAUTION NOTE: The gas line connection may be made using 1/2" rigid tubing or an approved flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult your local authorities and the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In Canada CSA-B149 (1 or 2) Installation Code. Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas. Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves. We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 13. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap collects moisture and contaminants and keeps them from going into the burner system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.

Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not place a blower inside the burn area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence. The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with continued use. 22 20301726 CFX Vent Free Fireplace System OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING If you do not follow these instruction exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
